Netflix has released the official trailer for ‘Hit Man,’ a romantic action comedy based on Skip Hollandsworth’s 2001 Texas Monthly magazine article of the same name.
Inspired by the unbelievable true story, a strait-laced professor (Glen Powell) uncovers his hidden talent as a fake hit man in undercover police stings. He meets his match in a client (Adria Arjona) who steals his heart and ignites a powder keg of deception, delight, and mixed-up identities.
Directed by Richard Linklater, who co-wrote the screenplay with Powell. The film also stars Austin Amelio as Jasper, Retta and Sanjay Rao as police officers Gary, Evan Holtzman as Ray Masters, with Molly Bernard and Mike Markoff. See the poster below.

The two first worked together when Powell was a teen actor in Linklater’s Fast Food Nation; they reunited on Everybody Wants Some!! and Apollo 10 ½ before writing Hit Man together. “It’s kind of like the sports team: If the best guy on the team is also the hardest-working, you might win… That’s what Glen is. He wants everybody on the team to be great.” (Via Netflix Tudum)
Produced by Linklater, Mike Blizzard, Michael Costigan, Jason Bateman, and Powell. The film is a collaboration between BarnStorm Productions, Aggregate Films, Detour Filmproduction, and AGC Studios.
